For almost every release of Windows it seems Microsoft has arbitrarily moved important and commonly used features around. Windows 8 is a larger visual overhaul but really not a huge departure from the typical musical chair sort of changes you always get with Windows releases. People will probably just be confused for a while, get used to the new system, and Windows 9 will change it again somehow. That's how it's always been so it doesn't concern me. My guess is most people will just randomly click on things until they get back to a semi-familar Windows desktop. They will remember the steps required to get back there. Metro and all these other things will just be another annoying thing that pops up when the computer starts.

Win8 kinda changes the entire look and feel (although, just like the control panel, there is a fallback) (fun fact: I ALWAYS click "switch back to the classic view" whenever I get to a windows machine)
